Literally, why would it? It's not (a) part of society nor (b) have needs that might be fulfilled by social security services.
- duality 10y agoI can't tell if you're in agreement or disagreement with the point I was making. Are we to infer that a robot will, by definition, be a part of society, whereas a Python script obviously isn't? That's the implication of this social security tax on "robots" specifically that the EU draft report is proposing.
